Before Amnesia Begins Its Survey originates from my personal perspective. Through oral histories gathered from interviews, I trace my grandfather's storyline, speculating and interpreting his past thoughts and mindset.Book online-review via Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/1117683938?share=copy
Book online-review via Youtube: https://youtu.be/9jbodMvALscPrefaceI engage in a fragmented, leapfrog process of creation using photographic images, then respond to each series of images by documenting my reflections on my grandfather during moments when I find myself in similar settings or states of mind.The text is visually divided into two parts using different typefaces: one presenting my raw, reflexive responses, and the other depicting an imagined, speculative version of the past. Together, they form a prose-like visual-textual narrative.These object photographs are tangible records of his life, each serving as a coordinate point in his existence. This is not merely a display of relics, but forty-two micro-funerals in progress. As each item dissolves, it whispers truths erased by the departed.
